If you look into it, you’ll discover that this song, far from being a centuries old church hymn or folk song, was written in 1962 at the height of the Cuban Missile crisis. The authors describe it as a plea for peace. With this information, one can easily interpret the star in a different manner, and it becomes clear why a star would have a tail. The song is worth an extra listen with consideration after this revelation regarding the situation.

If you were to listen to the popular Bing Crosby version of the Christmas classic, “Do You Hear what I Hear?”, you’d be forgiven for thinking the song is a simple diddy about the nativity of Christ, a very appropriate topic considering that this is what the holiday is about. You might also, however, notice a few anomalies with regard to the lyrics that could clue you in to the less obvious intent of Noël Regney and Gloria Shayne, the authors. For instance, why does a star have a “tail as big as a kite”? What is this “voice as big as the sea”? That doesn’t sound like the silent night that is normally ascribed to the birth of Jesus; quite the opposite.
